deerboy color

still a work in progress...

pvsc cycleworks 5

i swear this is the last one

pvsc cycleworks 4

again with the animals on motorbikes...

pvsc cycleworks 3

i really don't know what i was thinking...

pvsc cycleworks 2

i think it's only ok to use papyrus when you need to do a genus/species sort of lettering...

pvsc cycleworks

this is from a series of fake ads for a fake motorcycle manufacturer...

more showposters

alenck

this is alenck, one of the fairies in monoluminant...

who knows...

...what this is all about.

process 3

now i just need to figure out what the logo should be like...

process 2

...and here's the beginning stage of Alenck's sketch for the same piece...

process

here's the initial sketch of Marken for an upcoming advertisement...

the day job

here's a tshirt design i did for endovanera, the clothing line i work for...

wood sprite

here's another character from monoluminant...

album layout

this is a work in progress for the inner sleeve of an album layout i'm working on...

favorite frames

here are a few of my favorite panels from the first few pages of monoluminant...

dragon watching

here's an early panel from some preview pages i did...the sky will probably get an overhaul before it actually makes it into the book...

showposters

I sometimes get commissioned to produce posters for bands and tours...here are a few from 2006...

again, tshirts

here are some more tshirt designs...the kids love skulls and pirates...

jort

...here's the bass player for trollsmasher, marken's band in monoluminant...did i forget to mention marken had a band called trollsmasher? They were like the first british band, like, ever.

kali

I think at some point every artist has started on a series of gods on motorbikes and then neglected to finish transcribing the sanskrit for the background..

deerboy

I tried to keep the type of skull this character wears indigenous to the british isles, but all the best deer species were brought in during the 19th century...clearly long after monoluminant takes place. This little creep's headgear is a mix of sika, hartebeest, and fallow deer. Can't wait to get to the pages he's in...

background growth

...and now with a few weeds it's closer to being what will be in the finished page.

background

here's a work in progress environment from monoluminant...

band shirts and whatnot

...on the subject of sidetracking, here are some tshirt designs i was commissioned to do recently...

slow bug

I am starting to realize how long this book is going to take when i spend more than an hour on a bug that is only going to be about an inch high on the page...

Marken sketchbook

Here are some early sketches of Marken...

a walk on the moors

Here's an early study panel used to show the publisher the type of color palette and dirty foreground techniques intended for monoluminant...

Marken

Here's Marken, the main character in Monoluminant. A little bit Richard Ashcroft, a little bit David Bowie, and maybe even a little of the gump from legend...if he grew up a bit and started the first elvish rock band...

Oh also, the script for Monoluminant is all ready to go save maybe a few dialogue fixes...so actual pages are starting to get done as we speak.

sidetrack

I did some pinups for the creators of "The Amazing Joy Buzzards" featuring characters from their new projects...


Aqua Leung is written by Mark Andrew Smith. This one was similar to my usual comic style...












...while this one was done in a screen print poster style that i use for band posters (more on those later)
